Glenmore Optometry officially partnered with the University of Waterloo to serve as a training facility for aspiring Optometrists in 2024. Since that time we have had the immense pleasure of meeting and supporting a number of brilliant future Optometrists. 

This semester we are proud to introduce:

Rae Sigurdson

Originally from Oakbank, Manitoba, Rae is a fourth-year optometry student at the University of Waterloo. With a strong connection to the prairies, Rae brings a warm, patient-centered approach to eye care. She is very excited to be joining our clinic this Fall!

Rae began her academic journey in Alberta, where she played college volleyball for the Lakeland College Rustlers and earned a Business Administration diploma in 2019. She later completed her Bachelor of Science with Distinction through Athabasca University before pursuing her Doctor of Optometry degree.

Rae is especially passionate about the connection between ocular and systemic health, and values the important role optometrists play within a patient’s overall healthcare team.

Outside the clinic, Rae enjoys reading, running, golfing and playing board games with her fiancé, Stephen.
